While many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel making it a suitable substitute for grains for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain protein glutens. Buckwheat flowers are very fragrant and are attractive to bees that use them to produce a special, strongly flavored, dark honey

this could go either way. if you're sensitive to gluten and other wheat proteins, you could be fine with buckwheat. in fact, for all i know it's a perfectly safe food. i'd just tread carefully if you don't know how you react to seed-based types of foods.

it's also high in magnesium, which i believe can cause some troubles with diarrhea for some folks.
